121: replace the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) yellow circle in the pic.

542: Replace Fuel pump relay. Under the power distribution block. IIRC it's the brown one.

disconnect the battery before replacing any electrical components.

I have already replaced the throttle position sensor twice .. new one on it.

Check your battery, alternator ouput voltage and cables.

A low voltage situation can cause the reference voltage to be to low and cause false fault codes.

How do I test the alternator output voltage
And what cables do I check ? Battery cables?

 

[FR-425]

Use a volt meter. 14.2 - 14 .7 with the engine running.

Battery should read no less than 12.6 with the engine off. Best to have the battery load tested at the Auto parts store.

Yes, battery cables.

I think you can have the alternator load tested at the parts store too.

Another possibility is a bad connection or short in the wiring somewhere.
